...kept from him. On New Year's Day, he suffered a stroke, prelude to the death that came in his sleep. The big loudspeakers in the living room were silent, but everywhere the eulogies and the memorials began. In Manhattan's St. Patrick's Cathedral, a solemn pontifical Requiem Mass was offered by Cardinal Spellman (though Toscanini had never been noticeably religious). His body will be taken to Milan for burial. Arturo Toscanini's epitaph might best be expressed in words spoken by the Austrian poet Grillparzer at Beethoven's grave: "Whoever comes after...
...Solemn and scholarly, Harvard's Faculty Committee on Athletic Sports convened in Cambridge to consider the portentous fact that in six years under Head Coach Lloyd Jordan, 56, the Crimson football team has won only 24 games while losing 31 and tying three. Few men in the room knew a crossbuck from an Eliot House chambermaid. Only Associate Dean Robert Blake Watson had had direct contact with the game (as a scrub on the 1936 squad which won 3, lost four). The rest of the committee included four Ph.D.s (a Russian-born chemist plus professors of Greek literature, economics...

...crew willing to answer only ten of them. (Among the many subjects he declined to discuss: U.S. prisoners in China, Titoism, Peking's offer of a governmental post to Chiang Kai-shek.) Murrow & Co., and viewers as well, were fortunate that Chou did not answer more. He sat, solemn, humorless and tired-looking, acting like a man who was far from being his own master. Though he understands English well, Chou insisted on reading his answers in mechanical Chinese for an interpreter to translate. The answers themselves were composed so clumsily and delivered so dispiritedly that the onlooker could...
Except for a few facts about his professional background, few of his colleagues ever got to know very much about the solemn, sullen associate professor in engineering that St. Louis University hired in the summer of '54. Born in the Ukraine, Orest Stephen Makar, 47, had taught in Warsaw and Munich before coming to the U.S. in 1949. He was a specialist in photogrammetry,* worked for the U.S. Interior Department's Geodetic Survey, later got limited security clearance for a job at the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico. By the time he arrived in St. Louis...
